The arm of flesh will fail you!! [ June 2, 2024 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

The arm of flesh will fail you!!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path

“The arm of flesh will fail you” means relying only on our human strength and abilities will lead to disappointment or failure.

The passage above says the best thing to do is to put all your trust in God knowing that your knowledge and understanding is limited and recognizing that the power of God is above all.

Scripture also says in Jeremiah 32:27 that

Behold, I am the Lord the God of all flesh, is anything too hard for me to do?

Meaning, God can do all things so we can trust Him at all times

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

This verse from the new testament says with the help of Christ we can do all things

Let’s keep trusting our Lord

God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God and do what is right

Song for meditation

Let this hymn be your confession and prayer

Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross
Lift high His royal banner
It must not suffer loss
From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead
Till every foe He’s vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed

Stand up, stand up for Jesus
The strive will not be long
This day the noise of battle
The next the victory song
Ye that are men now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes
Your courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose

Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Stand in His strength alone
The arm of flesh will fail you
Ye dare not trust your own
Put on the gospel amour
Each piece put on with prayer
When duty calls or danger
Be never wanting then
Amen
